Does this light have any kind of quick release? How steal-able is it?

it's easy to slip in-and-out of the spherical holder, but there isn't a lock. if you are worried about it getting stolen, you would take it out of the holder and carry it with you. i really love this light....was surprised at how versatile, bright, and solid it is....for a low cost option.

The light is simply inserted through the front and is held in place by the snug fit. I would not recommend leaving it in the holder as it is easily detachable and very useable as a flashlight.

the holder that mounts on the bike has a hand screw to loosen it so it can easily be removed. It's very Steal-able... but the fact that it comes off easily is actually an advantage for me because it's a super flashlight even without the bike mount so I just remove it when I park my bike and use it to find my house keys and walk up to my house. I clip it onto the keychain with my bike lock key so I don't forget to bring it back out to my bike the next time I go riding.

Clamping system to bicycle handlebars can easily remove the flashlight. Oscar

This light is easily detachable and I have had one stolen. After that, I replaced the plastic hand-screws with some cheap bolts from a hardware store so someone would need a screwdriver to remove it.

So there's no quick release, but the light does come off separately from it= s mount with a hand tight plastic screw clamp. Very easy to remove just the= light. And it makes a great hand flashlight. A good buy for the amount of = light it offers.

Yes. The light by itself and/or the mounting bracket can be detached almost instantly for portability.

It is pretty small. The clip would fit in the palm of your hand, and the LED light bar is about 8" wide. Very portable.

The light part has a quick release, but the bracket would take a minute and a screwdriver

It's a fairly easy task to put the light in the mount and it can be done quickly. I carry my light on my duty belt and have no hesitation that I can get it into the mount quick enough during a critical situation . Hope that helps, stay safe.

theres no flash but you will see the infared LED's up to about 60 ft. away at night wich is roughly the distance it can record up to at night. the LED's are about as 3 times less bright as a typical LED. During the day it can record up to about 100-150 ft in day light which you may see what is being "stolen" if its big enough.

Yes, even has a snap clip that enables quick removal. Buy it, you'll be surprised how nice it is.

Not really. The light is an LED, so will pull very little off your battery.

The light has a red cover which snaps off to allow batteries to be changed. You can put a coin edge or key into a slot and it opens fairly easily.

Mine had no quick release, but its easy with a larger Alan key. You could probably tape it to the top of your light and release both at once as it is very light. The horn button could be just left on the bike as it plugs in fairly easily The battery compartment is under the horn and opens with a Philips screw. So that may need to be untaped when changing the batteries. I've been having to change batteries every 3-4 months.. But i'm in NYC. I love it's so loud, even buses hear you.

The flashlight is super easy to install and remove. So long as the mount is in place it will take seconds to install light.

yes, had one of these and it has fallen off. from all the key chain lights I have owned fenix e05, maratac aaa, and olight i3s are the best and most useful.

Small white button on the side of the light itself. First push.. flashlight; second push...lamp;third push blinking strobe: push and hold...offNot great if you need a light in a hurry. Very easy to push more than 1 time getting lamp or strobe when you want just a flashlight. Then it's a twist of the lens to broaden or tighten the focus. A gadget exploiting UV and Lithium Ion tech improvements that could be performed by 3 different "give away" flashlights. I put mine in a car door pocket just in case and because it was a gift. Clumsy not convenient

No- it is a string pull on and off. Gives good light though and has two settings to save power if needed.

Really easy. No tools necessary. It has a knob/lever on the underside. Just loosen and flip up the lever to remove the mount. I love this light. Expensive, but worth it. The light is bright, and it's easy to remove!

If you had some MOLLE straps or something that'd probably work fine, but the clip isn't bulletproof if it doesn't have much to grip on. I'd probably use a zip tie to make sure it was really secure. I've never had a better light though, and the clips aren't much different on anything else I've had. It comes with a smaller ring for mounting, you might be able to adapt that for your backpack.

Oh, yes! There's a tiny switch close to the base of the light (looks clear) which you can click on, then off. You need to use your fingernail.
